asso ciation and the answers of both executives the affidavits tell of persistent violation of city ordinances m saloons and dance halls without interference by the police department and under the eyes of instructed patrolmen the letters assert that violations were repeatedly reported to the police without result that an appeal for co-operation was made to mayor thompson and that it was practically ignored by him the association's evidence will be offered to the state's attorney to-day with the approval of miss sears and mrs joseph t bowen president of the organization both women last night confessed bitter feeling toward the administration for what they said had been its unmistakable refusal to offer any kind of aid m protecting chicago's children against openly tolerated

reported violation after violation to the police department and that our complaints have been ignored i will personally testify that after months of this kind of disap pointment when i appealed to mayor thompson to see that some kind of an investigation was made he practically ignored the request i wrote the mayor and told him of specific instances of flagrant law violations we had found told him that these violations were going on under the noses of policemen on their beats told him i had written time after time to the police about it and asked him to help us to get some action his answer was the same as all the other answers we had received all complaintse wer ignored " your letter has been received it read and the matter has been reported to the police department for investigation that was all the investigation was evidently never made nothing was done we are sick of such co-operation there is no reason why the ju venile protective association should not help mr hoyne all it can we are not afraid of the administration we have never asked favors we asked for enforcement of law â€” and nothing else we are not m politics and care nothing about the political significance of this fight between the state's attorney and the mayor mr thompson and his administration have failed us refused to help us so we are going to the state's attorney if our evidence helps him convict the
